Texans fall 20-19 at home to Tampa Bay, slipping to 0-2 as the late defense couldn’t close out the two-minute drill. Mayfield’s 11-play drive sealed it after Chubb and Noel jump-started a Houston lead with a punt return and a long TD run. Houston’s run defense surrendered 169 yards, and Stroud’s rhythm with Nico Collins wavered after an early TD. Protection issues reemerged in the second half, underscoring the need for cleaner pockets and sharper tackling to stay competitive.

Offense showed bright spots early, especially Collins on the opening strike, but the passing game needs consistent targets and red-zone execution. If Houston can fix the back-end timing with Collins and tighten late-game protection, they’ll have a clearer path to turning Week 2’s lessons into Week 3 momentum.

Los Angeles rode a second-half surge to a commanding 33-19 win, flipping the script on Tennessee after a tight first half. Stafford and the Rams’ aerial attack clicked late, with Adams and Nacua thriving as high-volume options and Williams providing steady ground threat. The performance boosts fantasy angles: a revitalized pass game around a veteran QB and a rookie receiver corps with ceiling looks.

Adams delivered season-highlight numbers, Nacua maintained his target-heavy role, and Stafford pressed the tempo as L.A. leaned on a dangerous passing attack. Williams’ workload remained under mild scrutiny despite efficient production, while the Titans’ defense and rookie Cam Ward offered early intrigue but couldn’t keep pace when the Rams flipped the switch in the second half.
